SUMO SUMO
Sumo Sumo in Sherwood Park is one of our
favorite places to eat with the kids because
of the versatile menu. The kids love the spring
rolls and we love the sushi but we will often
choose to take-out from the quick pick up
part of the restaurant rather than dining with
the kids, as it gets busy.
PASTA PANTRY
Another restaurant located in Sherwood Park,
Pasta Pantry is a staple for those evenings
when we just don’t feel like cooking. The
delicious, fresh pasta with homemade
ingredients often sells out, so head there
earlier than later for dinner. My favorite
option? The take it home and cook it yourself
– or, the best way to get guests coming back
time and time again for dinner.
FAMOSO PIZZERIA
Famoso is one of our go-to places for lunch
with the kids. Delicious pizza, quick service
and gelato to finish the meal make it a family
favorite. You’ll often find us there with the kids
on a Saturday afternoon.

OODLE NOODLE
Quick and easy, Oodle Noodle is my top
choice for something a bit different for meals
on the go. The girls are won over with spring
rolls and we’re won over with a fast meal
that’s something different than usual. Plus,
the easy location is perfect for exploring
downtown on summer afternoons or a quick
pick up to bring it home for dinner.
MONTANAS
Adding a few kids to your dinner out can be
expensive, but there are ways to get around
this. At Montana’s, Kids eat free on Tuesdays.
It’s a way to save a few bucks off the bill, and
the stress of dinner a couple of times a month.
As a bonus, there is usually entertainment in
the form of balloon animals during dinner
service, and portion sizes are large enough
that two young children can share.
